A Harbor Herons Habitat Pilot Project? Photo: Don Riepe

Harbor Herons and the NY-NJ Harbor Estuary Program  NY/NJ Harbor Estuary Program’s Harbor Herons Subcommittee has been monitoring populations since 1980?  Recently published a Conservation Plan.  An emphasized unknown: we do not know enough about why herons nest where they nest. Don Riepe

Harbor Herons and the Comprehensive Restoration Plan  In line with the Comprehensive Restoration Plan, further investigation is needed push forward the Harbor Herons TEC.  Restoration Working Group is interested in pursuing pilot projects.  Launching a dual restoration/ feasibility study may prevent us from restoring blindly.

Goals of the pilot project  Improve our understanding of what non-social factors influence nesting site selection, and what restoration strategies may lead to successful, multi-year nesting.  Improve nesting on at least one island and potentially associated forage habitat.  Take a low-risk approach by not disturbing current nesting areas.

Potential paired restoration and monitoring projects  Re-vegetation with native species and potential elevation manipulation  Predator removal  Improved adjacent forage habitat

Initial site possibilities: nesting habitat on Shooter’s Isl.

Initial possibilities: nesting habitat and predators on Pralls Isl.

Initial site possibilities: Isle of Meadows

Initial site possibilities: forage near North and South Brother Islands

Next steps  Work with Harbor Herons subcommittee and potential partners to create a restoration and experimental design plan.  Define partners, available funding, and create a funding timeline for pieces of the project.  Consider the launching of the Harbor Herons Pilot project for the next large grant funding cycle. We need input!!
